Liverpool looked great in the pre-season, especially in the latest outings

More than two decades have passed since Ipswich Town last featured in the top flight of English football.

They returned in big fashion, clinching the second place in the previous Championship term, escaping third-place Leeds six points in the race for the automatic promotion.

Ipswich will open the elite-class campaign with a famous fixture against Liverpool on Saturday afternoon at Portman Road.

The Reds head into the tie as massive favourites and are expected to claim the spoils in Arne Slot’s debut on the managerial bench in the Premier League.

Liverpool came third in the previous Premier League term, ending the season miles away from the title bout after a dreadful run in the second half of the campaign.

Ipswich vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool looked great in the pre-season, especially in the latest outings. They have grown in form and confidence in recent weeks.

The Reds picked up three successive wins in exhibitions against Arsenal, Manchester United, and Sevilla.

They looked particularly impressive last Sunday, thrashing Sevilla 4-1 with a beautiful first-half performance from Diogo Jota, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Luis Diaz.

Ipswich’s back line looked decent in back-to-back 1-0 wins over Hoffenheim and Nice in the latest friendlies.
